The Ultimate Eco Laptop Bag
This chic recycled wool felt laptop bag by Carga is biodegradable, highly durable, and a slammin’ choice for the meetings that matter. These fairly traded bags are designed by Mauro Bianucci and handmade in his native Argentina. They can be found at various shops around the world or online at Refinery 29.
Tom Bihn is into design. In his spare time he’s reading Cradle To Cradle by William McDonough and hiking in the wilderness…these are great signs. Tom’s most sustainable choice for laptops is an ultra sleek and sophisticated case with a molded cork exterior…behold The Archetype. Cork is both biodegradable and an incredible renewable resource, mostly sourced from the cork forests of Portugal. All bags by Tom are crafted by an adorable and skilled group of women at the Tom Bihn factory in Seattle, Washington. Adjustable shoulder straps made of soy in Montana (go American manufacturing!) can be ordered for your cork case or you can just slip The Archetype into your Reware laptop bag-you style magnet, you.
The solar powered Reware Juice Bag has many levels of coolness. One, you never have to run out of juice for your cell phone or MP3 player when you use this bag. Two, aside from the flexible solar panel, this messenger bag is made from recycled 2-liter soda bottles. Three, Reware bags are Made In The USA. Four, using solar energy means less coal and nuclear energy being used. Need I say more? Ok, I will…there are plenty of smaller organizational pockets and one large padded middle compartment for your laptop. They also look really cool and are an incredible conversation piece at any meeting. All your laptop-hauling buddies will be so jealous. All right, I’m done now.
The good mountain-dwelling hipsters of Livity Outernational always bring the best in eco accessories. This dope laptop bag is made of hemp canvas and sustainable seagrass. The materials are durable and the style factor is undeniable. The zippered top makes for easy retrieval of your most precious stashed cargo, including your Mac or PC. Whether you’re headed out on a snowboarding trip or heading into the boardroom, the Livity Liquid Laptop Bag stands up and stands out.
India has mountains of discarded plastic bags and Conserve is an NGO that’s doing something about it. Conserve makes gorgeous handbags, totes, and laptop bags from recycled plastic bags that are collected from the streets of New Delhi. The project has created jobs for urban women, while beautifying the city streets and increasing local pride.
These canvas-lined fair trade bags are durable, functional, and highly fashionable. At 14.5″ across, they’re great for 12-14″ laptops…and newspapers.
Amazing bags!
Thank you, it is just what I was looking for.
Keep on with the good work
Wow! I LOVE the hemp bag and the fact that it opens from the TOP! Thanks so much for the heads up, appreciate it SO very much!

wow, those are great but i’m poorish (yeah its relative) and don’t have $300 to spend on a laptop bag
I love these eco laptop bags and, even more so, find them environment-friendly and socially responsible. In fact, I would gladly use and carry any of them with the possible exception of that one made from felt (it looks like it might turn to mush in the first sign of rain!) As we can see by merely looking around, there is a trend towards turning every piece of recyclable material into something reusable. I applaud your bringing these bags to our attention and hope we find a way to make recyclable bags not only viral but exceptionally cool.
